I don't like that my "step siblings" call my dad, dad. They got married last year and she has two older kids who are in their late 20's and two kids who live with them, 15 and 18. He was a single dad my whole life so to hear someone else call him that really bugs me.
Another great distractor is spring door stops. This kid will play with one for a solid 5.
Without fail this is Henry's doorstopper routine: crawl up, stare, boing it lightly, become intrigued, give a good hard thwack, get scared, start crying, wait for mom to pick up. Repeat.

ETA: I don't plan on calling her mom
I hear you. I don't call my step mom "mom." I already have a mom and they didn't get married until I was 25. And she doesn't expect me to. My MIL wants me to call her mom. Um, no.
I was eyeing up the last muffin at work last night and when I went to finally get it at 4 am it was gone So, as I was eating my fruit I noticed the muffin container sitting on top of the garbage with a tiny chunk missing. I took the container out of the garbage and ate the muffin. Telling myself that it was still in the plastic container so it makes it ok isn't as convincing as it was last night.

I actually laughed out loud.
I love the name Henry, BTW. If we have another boy (at some point), I think that's our name.
We have someone coming over to give an estimate on some work on the house. There is an enormous pile of dishes in the sink, four loads of laundry to fold, and clutter all over the dining room table. Fairly typical for a Friday if it's been a busy week (it has).
FFFC: Other than straightening up the clutter, I'm not going to clean up. I don't have any fucks left to give. And I'm half tempted to take a nap instead of straightening up. Not going to, but....
Sometimes I worry something is wrong with me because I never really think about my previous misscarriages or the fact that I had DD vis emergency c section after two hard days of induced labor. I mean when these things occured of course I was upset but now they rarely cross my mind.
It's ok to not be upset. People have different personalities and react differently to things. There are no rules how you should feel about your life, as long as you don't tell someone who is upset that they shouldn't be. It's ok to be ok even if something bad happened, you know? I hope I don't sound like a total dingdong. I mean, if you think you should be upset maybe talk to somebody about it, but if you're really ok then good for you.

I totally agree with this. It's okay to react however feel natural to you as long as you are happy and healthy.
DD "crawled" in on me and DH doing the dirty in her nursery floor. She was supposed to be playing in her playroom. We have no shame and laughed uncontrollably.
Our 7 year old walked in on me and DH going at it - we assumed she was sleeping. The whole thing was a blur as we leapt about trying to cover up and I do remember screaming at her to go to bed. After lying traumatised for several minutes I went thru to make sure she wasn't shell shocked or crying. She straight out said "mummy you were naked". I don't even know what I was thinking because I was horrified, but I said, "yes, we were very cold so cuddling to keep warm and when you came in, we got a big fright and that's why we jumped about". I do have to say it didn't put us off that much because we finished the job once she was def sleeping.....altho she has NEVER burst in the room since ha ha!
Thank you for making me feel better about myself @iseeyou RN. I wanted hot chocolate with marshmallows last night. I found a bag of unopened marshmallows in my pantry that were best by Dec 2013. They tasted a little off but I still put them in my hot chocolate.
I lurk over on the other place sometimes. It makes me incredibly sad and ragey when I see what an echo chamber of useless information the place has become. Way to go XO. Way to go.
I just looked over there today. I hadn't read the new TOU yet so I thought I would... and WTF. Are they doing a public forum for adults or running a website for kindergartners?
I couldn't help put report that particular posting as Abuse... twice.
Speaking of the place that shall not be named, does anyone know how to edit your siggy on the new site? I want to remove that information...
at the top right of the screen, under some little circle/bubble things, you'll see those old familiar icons for notifications, PMs, and there is one of a head for preferences.
Click on that
Then go to Signature Settings it's the same as before, but hidden by the stupid bubbles everywhere...

Totally agree! I was upset for a day after my CP. Other people feel as though they are missing a child. I would never make anyone feel weird for being sad and I hope nobody has made you feel weird for being OK.

I lurk "over there" to see how many boards hardly have any new posts, a lot of the BMB's and more established boards of long time users are no where near as active as before. Its awesome!!!!

I lurk too every once in a while. It makes me feel smarter, that's for sure! Everything I need to know about TTGP and pregnancy, I learned from the ladies who are now on ProBoards. Such a lack of basic knowledge everywhere else online...it's frightening.
I've only been to church once with my LO and that was to get him baptized. It seems impossible to bring him. I feel guilty because I have no problem getting to all my mommy & baby groups.

buster - DD has started saying 'you said a baa wowd' to me...even though she only does that when I say mother of pearl or fudge monkeys and tator tots (my new kid friendly curses). She doesn't seem to catch my actual sailor outbursts, thank goodness!

Jake goes to the nursery.
That makes sense. People at our church always bring them in for the mass. Our priest encourages that. I guess I feel stressed knowing that he's going to be super loud and disruptive.

DH is slightly allergic to our two cats, but I snuggle the shit out of my older cat in the middle of the night because he rarely lets me, so I take advantage when he does. Under the covers, between me and DH. Best furnace ever.
IDGAF if DH has watery eyes in the morning as a result.

We had been taking DD with us and just let her sit with us during service. But now she gets bored easily and wants to chit chat. So we also put her in the nursery. She cries at first but she's okay when we go pick her up. It's her only form of daycare and the only time she's away from us.

We were like this too and my husband is a priest. I finally told myself the same thing. I just need to make it part of our routine like a mommy group I do during the week. It took a while but I finally started going with her 2 weeks ago. It's hard! I was always in the bathroom with her when we went when she was first born or a different room and then trying to keep her quiet. We just stopped going. I finally said people will just have to understand if she's not quiet the whole time. I take a blanket toys and puffs and she seems to do well with it the last 2 Sundays. Anyway don't feel bad it's hard!! You get to Sunday and you're just exhausted.
